Gregg Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Please check the following link : http://biertijd.com/mediaplayer/?itemid=19448 I especially like the guy who faces the approaching plane and dosn't even flinch - my anus would have prolapsed at about 200 metre range and I would have been about 2mm high on the ground at 100 metres - nerves of steel ! Those flyboys sure seem to have lots of testosterone to spare !

Admin Jaap Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I especially like the big tanker/transporter (?) Brass balls!

gstallons Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 One of my best friends (RIP) learned to fly a rotor aircraft and said it kept him "BUSY"! You cannot goof off or do anything but concentrate on controlling the aircraft.
luhbo Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 my favorite. timeless http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvDDDKnNhuE Hubert 2
Guzzirider Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Excellent! A Spitfire flying low at full chat is an awesome sight. There is an airfield not too far away near Selby that has a historic flight based there, and if you camp nearby you can watch several different types of WW2 fighter planes throughout the day. Strange that a deadly weapon of war can also be an object of beauty. Guy
felix42o Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Not quite as cool as the jets but I am flying the one one the left side ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgRIpxsHXHU I dunno, having been a helo crewman most of my career (both heavy lift -53's and later HH-1N's), I'd say it's at least a tie! We had HH-1N Hueys in the SAR team I flew with, and the sound of that thing beating the air from across a valley at altitude gets me all misty-eyed 1
ferguzzi Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 I love that spit footage, it's a classic. I took the tenni over to the uk for the weekend, and got royally pissed on, we spent Saturday at the fairford airshow, and I finally got to fulfil a lifes ambition by seeing a Vulcan fly. Spectacular. I don't know why military aircraft are sexier then civilian ones, they just are. Certainly there's not a lot sexy about the A340s I fly for a living.
luhbo Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 ...Certainly there's not a lot sexy about the A340s I fly for a living. You know this 'There's absolutely no cause for this alarm - the wings are not on fire ...' sketch? The Vulcan is monstrous even when it just stands around cold, makes me wish to have a black smoke generator adapted to my Ex-Box Hubert

luhbo Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Update: I found something similar here: http://www.randomexploits.com/etc/b17/b17.htm Still seems to be the land of no limits Hubert
